TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - "Please love our Asian American neighbors": Christian responses to anti-Asian racism during the COVID-19 pandemic JO - Theology today A1 - Borja, Melissa May A1 - Zhang, Kayla SP - 370 EP - 389 VL - 79 IS - 4 N2 - How have American religious groups engaged in the issue of contemporary anti-Asian racism? This article examines statements issued by Christian denominations in the United States to understand how American Christians have responded to the recent rise in racist and violent attacks on Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic. We found that while all of the statements condemned anti-Asian racism, Christian responses varied in significant ways: in how they understood the problem of racism, in what they prescribed as solutions, and in the degree to which they engaged in the particular experiences of Asian Americans.
